Field Work Advice.

[gpr100]

Hello rotor heads.

I am a 20+ year A&P techncian who is lookin for field work. I would greatly apppreciate any advice on company choice, pay and rotations schedules. I am considering companies such as CHC heli, Columbia heli, Erickson Air-Crane, PHI heli, Heli-for, Superior heli.

How do you pay your bills when your away from home and get your mail because I am single and have no one to take care of my business when gone?

Do you normally have internet access while in the field?

 

Thanks for any input, GPR100.

Make sure you are set up for phone and internet banking. Sometimes you'll have net access - sometimes you won't. Set up to receive bills online if that's an option. The rest of the mail will wait until time off. Or have a friend grab your mail.

Personal bills, rent, mortgage, etc, can be paid on an automatic pre-authorized payment plan, deducted directly from your bank account, or billed to your credit card. I put as many of my bills on my credit card as I can (although some companies only accept direct bank billing), then have my credit card bill deducted automatically from my bank account. That way I get airmiles for paying some of my bills :punk: I get all the reciepts in the mail, but everything is paid automatically whether I'm home or not.
